Bioinformatician with expertise in precision medicine
We are now looking for an outstanding candidate with competence in data-driven precision medicine and related data analyses, to provide advanced bioinformatics support to scientifically excellent data-driven Swedish research projects in Precision Medicine and Diagnostics.
SciLifeLab is a unique national research infrastructure providing services and data resources for life science with the overall aim to facilitate cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary life science research and promote its translation to the benefit of society. The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) focuses on data-driven research, within fields essential for improving people’s lives, detecting and treating diseases, protecting biodiversity and creating sustainability. The program will train and recruit the next generation of data-driven life scientists and create strong and globally competitive computational and data science capabilities in Swedish life science.
The DDLS program has established a national data science node in Precision Medicine and Diagnostics, with a national responsibility to develop data services and to provide bioinformatics support. The node staff are employed at Karolinska Institutet (KI) and placed at the Compliance & Data Office (CDO) at the KI campus in northern Stockholm near SciLifeLab’s Stockholm site. CDO offers broad support on data management, health data, clinical studies, ethics and compliance to researchers and is now, through the DDLS program, developing more specific support for precision medicine and diagnostics. KI also offers close interactions with regional and local initiatives within precision medicine, e.g. the collaborative Precision Medicine Centre Karolinska together with the Karolinska University hospital. The bioinformatician position is integrated with the SciLifeLab bioinformatics platform (NBIS), a unique national infrastructure with over 100 employees, providing support, infrastructure and training to the Swedish life science research community.
